| - I'll begin at the beginning...
We arrived long before the rest of the party so I made sure to put our name down and found a seat at the bar. Where was the bartender? It seems he was also waiting tables? Needless to say, we waited at least 20 minutes before being asked what we wanted and by then, my order was reduced to a wine because I didn't want to chance ordering something that required actually mixing liquids together...that would've just taken longer.
Once the rest of the party arrived we were able to get seats at the hibachi tables...YEAH! PLEASE MAKE A RESERVATION IF YOU WANT TO SIT AT THE HIBACHI TABLE!
Again, we waited. Waited to be asked what we wanted. Waited to be given our soup and salads. Waited for our chef to come over. In the meantime, we watched a nearby table and the chef was so much fun! The people were having a great time. However, the chef behind him was boring. The people were just eating. There were no tricks or squirts of saki, nothing! We prayed to get the other guy. Unfortunately, he went to another table. Fortunately, we did get a fun chef. So it's a crap shoot when it comes to the chefs and how much fun you may or, may not, have. The food was ok. The lobster didn't taste fresh at all though. The filet and shrimp were fine.
In addition to our hibachi, we also ordered specialty rolls, which they forgot to bring us. We ate those for lunch the next day. Overall, I'm not running back to this place. I see why people like it, but again, the chefs make it fun and if you don't get a fun chef, it's just hibachi. Might as well sit at one of the other tables.
